Farm Romp

By

On Friday we had the special treat of going out to Oliver Creek Farm to hang out with my friend Justine, her daughter, Rachael, and the Struckmanns. (You can read all about my first visit with some background and links here!) It was a gorgeous day to be outside!

The last time we visited the garden was still in winter mode, so we were excited to see all that Justine grows!

She had dozens of herbs with a variety of medicinal and nutritional benefits as well as culinary herbs like stevia! I had never tried a fresh stevia leaf before, but boy was it sweet!

The kids loved picking ripe black raspberries for our lunch! They were SO GOOD warm from the sunshine right off the vines!

Mazen has never been interested in raspberries, but he tried them and loved them!

We also picked lettuce and some herbs for our lunch salads.

The kids were excited to taste the lettuce right from the garden and had some at lunch too.

Then it was time for lunch! YAY!

Justine sautéed garlic scapes and this beef from the farm. They offer beef shares in a variety of quantities, including a ground-beef butcher box, and if you’re interested you can get in touch through Facebook! The farm’s beef is 100% grass-fed, and there are no bio solids, herbicides or pesticides on their fields. Justine topped the steaks homemade herb butter! The beef tasted amazing – tender and rich and buttery!

We had lunch on the porch and enjoyed steak salads (everything in them was from the farm!), homemade kombucha, and berries.

For a sweet treat, Justine had made some frozen black raspberry puree from the berries she picked the day before and blended them in the Vita-mix with whole milk yogurt to make little smoothies (“milk shakes”) for the kids.

They were so fresh!

We were rushing to get Sawyer home for his nap, so I didn’t get a girls picture, sadly. We had such a lovely time visiting the farm! Follow along on Justine’s Instagram.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
